i'm matt miller. a rally that drove stocks to a series of all-time highs running out of steam a bit today but the trump trade is still on. if you take a look at where the markets are trading, we have the s&p 500 off a third of 1% but we are at 5980 and we did cross over 6002 close higher than that yesterday for the 51st or 52nd record high this year. we typically see 18 record highs on average going back to the 1950's so we are well above that level. the nasdaq coming down a third of a percent over 21000 and the dollar at the strongest level we have seen since november of 2022. if you read the scott besson piece either wall street journal, you know the day after donald trump was elected we got one of the strongest rallies in the dollar. the third strongest we have seen over the last 10 years. real conviction behind that should the 10 year yield coming back up almost 13 basis points. this is something we saw the week of the election. the 10 year yield rallied from 428 almost two 450. back down to 428 a

may be more matt miller's favorite. down 16%. the worst day going back at 2022 . just in line after being up more than 70% into today, somewhat priced to perfection. stock down sharply, a monday slump. katie: monday.com with a case of the mondays. a lot of bullishness around equities. the bears are still out there. recent guest on bloomberg tv have warned caution might needed -- might be needed. >> markets seem to be joyful right now. one would think the trumpet administration would want to continue that environment. it is not surprising markets are going ahead and running with the trump trade. there is a lot of information we have two dissect going forward to see what does this mean. >> every trump trade is in vacuum to itself. they are all going to be winners. that is a big mistake. the index is expensive. there are a lot of stocks that are not as expensive. that is why you have to be selective and not get wrapped up chasing this euphoria we have seen in the past week. katie: joining us with more on these markets, let's welcome in ira jersey from bloomberg intel

listen to matt miller. what we want to see come out of this situation ultimately is loving on able to break the grip that hezbollah has had on the country more than great break the strangle hold that as boys had on the country and remove um, as well as veto over a president, a sound that's a big shift from a joe biden. it's saying, please don't take these actions and move forward. that is a proactive support of taking on has the law and using this moment to read the nation of that. that's why i say that question. is there an implicit arrangement that we should be aware of has been us policy for the past. actually that gets the us policy is used 11 on as another theater of conflict with the on in which it, on to hezbollah, controls lab and on. and actually it has a lot of to within dot the few years that many people have been loving on. is that not that the, that the, it should like the dismissal of the year on end of hezbollah as a major to force of influence in love and on is not going to use the feet of a

listen to the state department spokesperson matt miller. >> we have made significant progress with gettingowards a resolution that includes progress from where we were when i spoke to this last week. we aren't done yet. nothing is final until everything is final. we continue to work to try and get an agreement over the line. we're hopeful we can get one but we need both of the parties to get to yes. >> dana: what do you think of yes. >> dana: what do you think of the agreement as you understand it so far? >> dana, it sounds like it is 60-day agreement that shouldn't surprise anyone. there are 60 days until president trump takes office. i think the israelis were put under pressure to sign the cease-fire. it is not a peace deal or long-term arrangement a temporary cease-fire for a couple of months and see if hezbollah warriors violate this as they violate every other agreement that they've signed and they go right back at it. i hope the israelis made a good decision. they know more about this than any of us do. i have confidence they have this right. i think the american administration, bide

here's matt miller. >> has the president made clear, the united states will ensure that iran never hasuclear weapon. the iranian regime is amassing a growing stockpile of highly enriched uranium and there's no credible civilian purpose, and continue to not cooperate fully with the iea. reporter: a new classified report that was viewed by the associated press shows iran is inching closer to having enough weapons grade enriched uranium to have a nuclear weapon and the board of governors set to meet later to discuss the next steps. the head of the iea met in teheran last week and it's unclear what results that interaction yielded and now u.s. lawmakers focusing on legislation to push back against the regime including assassination plots including the incoming president trump and other american officials. >> this is outrageous behavior by iran. they are working with criminal organization ntsb united states to kill peel on american soil -- kill people on the american soil and the deterrence bill that senator ernst and i have is the effort to say there's already serious criminal penalties fo

sonali: if matt miller were sitting here, you know he would ask about the european market and why it bear. what is going on in europe? can we see some of the problems in ford spill over to the united states? keith: we see some similarities but europe was ahead of the united states in electric vehicle uptake but as with the u.s., things are slowing, governments are pulling back on consumer incentives they had offered. ford just launched two new electric vehicles in europe,an electric explorer. those models are not selling well. at the factory in germany that makes them, they are going on a week, off a week. it is not turning out to be the market that europe had previously, or that the regulations are set up for, because these are very stringent regulations coming out of europe. sonali: it is interesting because since mid july, we have seen a significant selloff in the stock. what do they need to do at this juncture, to turn this story around? shares down 3.4% on the back of this. they are telling investors the reason they are doing this is to improve margins compared to rivals. keith:

matt miller telling axios, gaetz has a better shot of having dinner with queen elizabeth ii , who died in 2022. also told axios, it will be tough because he has got enemies in the senate. in an congressional correspondent, lauren fox joins us now. what happens next with matt gaetz and some of the president-elect 's other nominations? >> let me just walk you through the scene on capitol hill yesterday , as we learned that matt gaetz had been nominated to be donald trump's attorney general. there were a number of republican senators who said out loud that they were shocked by this nomination. we also heard from some republicans who quickly made clear that they have some concerns. senator johnny earns telling me, he will have to work really hard. when she came out from the chamber i asked her once again, she said, he's going to have to work extra hard to get confirmed to the united states senate for this post. you saw the range of reactions yesterday from susan collins to lindsey graham, here they are. >> i don't know yet . i'll have to think about that. >> do you have any concerns about

this is what matt miller said. >> we strongly condemn the brazen threats. should iran attack any of our citizens including those who continue to serve the united states or those who formerly served at iran with a severe consequences. >> they don't appear to be any. charges against this guy but nothing much else is happening. >> my question is where were these harsh words from the biden administration 3.5 years ago when we learned about these threats? they have been extensively reported on all these years and talk about it. it's been in print media. we know these threats have existed from the iranian regime. they also have metal that an unprecedented scale in our election trying to tip the scales in favor of kamala harris. we know they were also funny anti-semitic protests on our college campuses and around the country. truly unprecedented that a hostile state, a foreign actor would try to assassinate the former president and some of his former top deputies on u.s. s soil. the biden administration really didn't talk about it until this year whenever the thre

matt miller made it very clear that they will pursue biden's policies and biden's policies only untilfficially takes office january 20th. >> i think it's very important to remember with respect to policy in the middle east with respect to all of our policies that there is one president at a time. and joe biden is the president, and we will continue to pursue the policies that he has set forth. >> gillian: trump though says he has already spoken to quote probably 70 world leaders since yesterday. this includes israel's prime minister ukraine's putin. >> i would like to take this opportunity to congratulate him on his election as president of the united states. so are you ready to hold discussions with trump? >> we are. we are. >> gillian: former trump white house foreign policy advisers are cautioning anyone who ignores trump's policy plans do so at their own peril. >> president-elect can enormous influence in what he says and what he does and when he talks to leaders. you better listen to what president trump is saying and who he is talking about. to you aremaking a big mistake u don'

listen to matt miller. what we want to see come out of this situation ultimately is loving on able to break the grip that hezbollah has had on the country more than great break the strangle hold that as well as add on the country and remove as well as veto, over at present a sound that's a big shift from a joe biden. it's saying, please don't take these actions and move forward. that is a proactive support of taking on has the law and using this moment to read the nation of that. that's why i say that question. is there an implicit arrangement that we should be aware of has been us policy for the past. actually that gets the us policy is used 11 on as another theater of conflict with the on in which it, on to hezbollah, controls lab and on. and actually it has a lot of tooth n dot the few years that many people have been loving on. is that not that, that, that the, it should like the dismissal of the year on end of hezbollah as a major the force of influence in love and on is not going to use the feet of an

and i think that, and particularly said, after you became this kind of celebrity for going after matt miller and making him look so silly, those clips became part of people's daily diets and it was satisfying to see somebody pressing them on. you can tell me if you defected -- you detected a change but i think the reporters in the room saw, and i think rightly we are frustrated at their inability to get their good questions and turn them into actual journalistic products in their news organizations, and i think it sharpened their confrontational questions because they realized, ok, maybe this won't get into my broadcast or paper, but it turns out there are tens of millions of people around the world who are going to see it anyway and i will be able to cut past my editors. do you think that dynamic unfolded little bit? >> absolutely. i think that what we have seen over the past 18 months is -- it used to be i would go to the briefing room and i always asked about palestine. that was my job all along. and there would be maybe a couple others that would ask questions from time to time, but main

spokesman matthew miller, who made an interesting comment last month, very relevant list. listening to matt miller. what we want to see come out of this situation, ultimately is 11 on able to break the grip that hezbollah has had on the country more than great break the strangle hold, that as boys had on the country and remove as well as veto over a president a sound that's a big shift from a joe biden. it's saying, please don't take these actions and move forward. that is a proactive support of taking on has blah and using this moment to rid the nation of that. that's why i say that question. is there an implicit arrangement that we should be aware of has been us policy for the past? actually, that gets us policy is used 11 on as another theater of conflict with the on and which eat on to hezbollah controls, lab, and on. and actually it has a lot of to within dot the few years that many people have been live on. is that not that the, that the, it should like the dismissal of the year on end of hezbollah as a major the force of influence in love and on is not going to use the feet of and on, but t

. >> matt, stephen miller was talking about building up to 1 million people deported a year. a lot of folks have looked at help and said that goes way beyond to people to ana's point people that committed a crime while here in the country. do you think -- it had a lot of blowback last time. do you think people are more accepting of it this time? >> i do. look, i've known stephen miller a long time. even those who disagree with him on policy will acknowledge he's a smart guy. he knows this subject matter. he can get into the minutia of how to enact these policies and it's no surprise donald trump would choose him to implement what he's talking about on the campaign trail. they've talked about it. president trump even said they would prioritize those that are drug dealers and convicted of crimes and those maybe connected to criminal gang activity, but to your question, anderson, americans are living the real world impact every day over the fact i believe it's 15 million illegal immigrants who crossed the border and they've seen the impact in their own communities, whether it's

annmarie: unlike matt miller she knows where it is. biden sitting with donald trump at the white house. it will be the first such meeting since 2016 after trump did not meet biden to meet after the 2020 election. biden is given grace for president-elect trump, something trump did not do provided. to be a fly on the wall of the meeting. dani: we know one of the topics discussed will be ukraine and it is important for the u.s. to continue to support ukraine. we were just speaking with a former state department spokesperson who said the focused for the trump administration will be ending the hot wars to concentrate on china. it is not clear how receptive the trump team might be for bidens to call to say you need to continue to support ukraine. annmarie: the washington post saying vladimir putin and president-elect trump had a phone conversation. a foreign policy expert said these conversations are not illegal but if it starts to veer into conducting foreign policy, that could be a problem. what you are seeing is rob political power taking

politics in new york city earlier this week, matt miller spoke with former hedge fund manager whitney tilson on his top issues and his focus on crime and immigration. >> where we went awry and this is a great example of my campaign, a lifelong democrat against a centrist democrat and the radical left, hijacked our city and took us too far to the left. we have additional in legislation that made it impossible for local law enforcement if they arrested someone who committed a violent offense, let's say they are a venezuelan gang member. this happened last week. it was the seventh time he has been arrested this year. this is crazy. on his first arrest, local police should have turned him over to ice and they should have deported him on the next plane to venezuela, obviously. because of this crazy legislation that went too far in 2018, it is contributing to the violent crime spike here in new york. i am going to roll back the sanctuary city back to the way it was for decades. i have no interest in helping the trump administration try to deport 12 million illegal immigrants who mostly have

-- >> live here on c-span3, we take you to a state department briefing with spokesman matthew miller. >> matt, kick us off. >> i have nothing to start with. >> let's start with -- let's start with ukraine today. the alert, the alert put out by the embassy, first off, can you be more specific as to what led to that? >> so you're right. you saw the security alert that went out early this morning overnight our time. the embassy put that alert out based on a possible threat of a significant attack on kyiv. something that we take very seriously and led to the temporary change in posture at the embassy. we expect the embassy to return to normal operations tomorrow. i can't get into, obviously, the specifics of the threat, but it is something that we always monitor closely. we take the safety and security of our personnel very -- it's very important to us, we take it extremely seriously, and that's what led to the change in posture today and we expect to resume normal operations tomorrow. >> did this threat materialize given the time there now? it's after dark now. >> so i'm not aware of any signifi

take for example, these comments earlier this week from representative max miller about matt gaetz job that he has done here, and it has been abhorrent. >> i'm not the only one who thinks this way. i just say the quiet part out loud. >> and i wish other my colleagues would have the same courage to do so. but him, as a member of congress should not be the most powerful law enforcement individual in our country, and everyone knows it. and he's not going to get confirmed. and so this is solely based off of his job as a member of congress within this body that has caused more harm, made us spend more money, has put us in more parallelization than any other member now, remarks like that have been reaching president elect trump all week long since he made that pick. >> but notably representative miller will not have a say in whether or not matt gaetz gets 51 senate votes. it will come down to the 54 republican members of the u.s. senate, and we have seen some of those members already shifting their stance on matt gaetz. senator molan, for example, is someone who a year ago claimed that matt

on matt gaetz's nomination, trump's ally, representative max miller of ohio, describes it as a recklessing politico, i think he has a 0% shot of getting through the senate. maine senator susan collins says she is shocked by gaetz's nomination and says there'll be lots of questions about the suitability for the role. here is republican lawmaker matt sendale. mr. rosendale: he has shown that he is able to construct a way to pose questions to people that have been brought before hand, to make sure he can bring out the information and evidence that is necessary in order to find out exactly what is going on and get to the bottom of a lot of these situations, and i have complete confidence in him. >> in the next couple of hours, a gathering of conservative activists and elected officials from across the united states will kick off at donald trump's mar-a-lago estate in florida. it has been suggested the argentine president javier melier could be president. since donald trump's victory in the presidential election, he has stressed his support for mr. trump. let's go live to florida and our cor

miller. i also think vivek and matt whitaker will be good. governor jeff landry's name has been brought up.e especially on the other channels saying he just wants people who are going to do what he wants them to do. not really. he wants people who will respect him but he wants their opinion when decision is made to it don't do what madison kelly did who tried to do what they thought was in the best interest of the country which was contradictory to what the first term president thought. >> ainsley: president trump spoke to the world leaders, israeli prime minister, can't's prime minister. french president. indian prime minister. the south korean president and ukrainian president zelenskyy. he talked to biden. biden congratulated him and invited him to the white house. >> brian: do you know who the first one to call was? mbs. that's a sin bowl. called pariah nation. told the houthi rebels you are no longer on the terror watch list. went over to iran and said can we get back into the nuclear deal? kind of looking forward to a president that understands as imperfect as that regime is, they are

miller, i'll start with you. we were wrong. you and i said matt gaetz will be the attorney general.ants to see how low he can go. apparently, the answer is how low he can go is whatever is sort of above matt gaetz and below pete hegseth. i don't know. it is interesting when you find out what a bridge too far for donald trump looks like. apparently it looks like matt gaetz. >> the gaetz eyebrows are the low watermark for him. you know, we were wrong about this though the wrongness was based on how these senators will act and matt gaetz let them off the hook by withdrawing. murkowski didn't have to force the others to not vote for him. it was interesting. gaetz may have been decided to withdraw for other reasons. he may not have wanted the additional details of the apparently two encounters with the 17-year-old or the other payments that "the new york times" reported on and that remains to be seen and the big test of that which is our thesis is that these senators will fold to trump will be hegseth and rfk. you know for a fact that mitch mcconnell, given his past and his commitment to

the new york times says representative max miller of ohio, a republican, says he is shocked but happy because he says matthouse of representatives. a senator from texas is saying he is still trying to absorb this. during the campaign donald trump promised retribution for the investigations launched against him. this is what he said about the appointment as attorney general, matt will root out systemic corruption at the department ofjustice and return it to its true mission of fighting crime, upholding our democracy and constitution. i crime, upholding our democracy and constitution-— constitution. i mentioned ukraine to victoria coates. _ constitution. i mentioned ukraine to victoria coates. one _ constitution. i mentioned ukraine to victoria coates. one nation - constitution. i mentioned ukraine to| victoria coates. one nation watching victoria coates. 0ne nation watching very closely all these appointments will be ukraine and president zelensky, given donald trump's comments about ending the war with russia in 2a hours. today on the bbc podcast ukrainecast the man who stepped down as secretary general o

matt gaetz. here's a reaction of republican congressman max miller. >> i just think it is silly. i believe that the president is probably rewarding him for being such a loyal soldier to the president. but the president is smart enough and his team is smart enough to know that mr. gates will never get confirmed by the senate. he breaks things to break things, and once he breaks it, he breaks it even more. that is somebody who should not be the attorney general of the united states. >> kevin mccarthy, who was driven out of the speakership by matt gaetz, said this. >> i will give you the truth why are not speaker. it is become one person, a member of congress, wanted me to stop an ethics complaint because he slept with a 17-year- old. >> they will no doubt want to hear from kevin mccarthy as a witness at matt gaetz senate confirmation hearing. the senate confirmation meeting for attorney general will be run by the 91-year-old chairman of the senate judiciary committee, chuck grassley, who has become a rubberstamp for all things trump in the senate. matt gaetz is already in trouble t

matt gaetz. here's the reaction of republican congressman max miller. >> i just think it's silly. i think the president is rewarding him for being such a loyal soldier to the president. but the president is smart enough, his team is smart enough to know mr. gaetz will never get nominated by the senate. mr. gaetz breaks things to break things and then he breaks it even more. that is someone who should not be the attorney general of the united states. >> and this. >> i'll give you the truth why i'm not speaker. because one person, a member of congress, wanted me to stop an ethics complaint because he slept with a 17-year-old. >> the democrats in the senate will no doubt want to hear from kevin mccarthy as a witness. the senate confirmation hearing for attorney general will be run by the 91-year-old chairman, new chairman of the senate judiciary committee who has become a rubber stamp for all things in the senate. matt gaetz is already in trouble trying to get the republican vote with lisa murkowski saying it will be a significant challenge for gaetz to win enough votes to be confirm

joining us now, and navarro, and matt mauer who served in the trump administration. i'm not sure how many people remember stephen miller, but he has certainly been a central figure in immigration policy. >> yes, also someone who was the architect of the 2017 muslim travel ban, as well, which is also controversial. to her point, you know, we saw this as well with susie wiles, who he named chief of staff but these are people who have stuck with him through thick and thin, and especially in those dark days in 2020, when he lost the election and a lot of people left his side. i think it is very important about stephen miller is that he has never gone astray from his strong stance on immigration. so, i think, with these pics as well as tom homan, the former acting director of i.c.e. , i think that trump is going full force ahead with mass deportations. the other night you asked, how will that happen? you know, we are getting more information on that now. the military may build detention centers to house these immigrants. stephen miller was on the record as saying that they might put all of these immigrants on empty land in

and the feelings are just still so raw about matt gaetz especially everything that he did leading to the ouster of kevin mccarthy, won a republican, max miller of ohio. i asked him how he viewed the gates nomination i'm looking at him as a member of congress and the job that he has done here, and it has been abhorrent i'm not the only one who thinks this way i just say the quiet part out loud and i wish other of my colleagues would have the same courage to do so. >> but him, as a member of congress should not be the most powerful law enforcement individual in our country, and everyone knows it and he's not going to get confirmed. and so this is solely based off of his job as a member of congress. within this body that has caused more harm made us spend more money, has put us in more parallelization than any other member. >> now he and gates have a personal feud and that says a lot of personal views. but he said, i just say the quiet part out loud, and i wish other of my colleagues would have the same courage to do so well, matt gaetz has a lot of personal feuds with a lot of members of congress. obviously, kevin mccarthy was one of them. max

i remember seeing jason miller and marjorie taylor greene starting with ifa did it. if i look at matt gaetz and since i served with him and saying now -- this is a loyalist who has no reason to be in any position of power. based on the fact there is a cascading affect of bad judgment from this guy who can't tell truth from fiction. that's what i have seen since that time is that you have a bunch of individuals, him or gabbard or go down the line, they can't tell fact from fiction. they have an inability to know what truth is. you have loyalists who have been following down this line of insanity. they are put up for appointments. that scares people who has been in congress. when you have unserious picks like that, there's a way when you see foreign adversaries or in our country, when you look at people who might want to go after individuals, you see they will be a laughing stock if you appointees like this. >> i think it's becoming clear throughout the day today that it's going to be very difficult for them to push gaetz through without a recess appointment. we are seeing senators come

matt gaetz's former colleague now. >>> up next, maga conspiracy theorist, putin apologist, director of national intelligence. john miller tell us what the intelligence professionals are saying about the potential tulsi gabbard to be their new boss. >>> welcome back. now, let's go inside the agencies that donald trump is trying to change with his controversial cabinet picks. so far, paula reed. you've been talking to your sources inside the doj about their potential new leader. what are they telling you? >> i've spoken to dozens of people since he was announced and the only person who had really anything positive to say was one who takes lawyers from an agency and places them in the private sector. now, in addition to the negative reaction inside doj, i also reached out to people who worked in the trump justice department. people who were ideaically aligned. they believe he is not qualified. one of them is quote, praying, that the other people who will lead the justice department, so the people who will run the individual components inside doj, the criminal division. the antitrust division. the civil division. they're ho

kinds of people who are on the board, there is homan and there is miller, there is also kristi known who has been tapped to lead and mattof those appointments have the ability to deprive the country of the brakes, which are independent judges, which is public outrage, which is journalists like jacob who were invited into the facility to see the policy. but what, on a sort of logistical level, are they talking about in terms of having to display some confidence that we have never seen? i mean, how do you move millions of people around the country to send them anywhere? >> i think that is a good question and i think there will be logistical difficulties. you know, whether they have been working on it for four years and preparing, they say they have, we will have to see, but there will definitely be logistical difficulties. one thing i will say is right now is a time for everyone to take stock of where they are going to be and not to despair. and you know, there are big things we can all do, but i think people need to just think, i can do one little thing. i always worry, especially with the young people that they think th

miller in florida, the republican consultant. welcome to the programme. i will talk about marco rubio in a moment a lot of tension around mattlet me read you at the republican senator john colling has just told reporters, that he absolutely wants to review the unreleased congressional ethics report on matt gaetz after we heard from donald trump his pick for attorney general. do you think that lawmakers and the public should see that ethics report before there is any progression in all of this? i before there is any progression in all of this?— in all of this? i think voters soke in all of this? i think voters spoke loud _ in all of this? i think voters spoke loud and _ in all of this? i think voters spoke loud and clear - in all of this? i think voters spoke loud and clear last . in all of this? i think voters - spoke loud and clear last week in america that these political prosecutions need to end. whether it is matt gaetz or donald trump. these political impeachment is, americans had the information and said you were not guilty president trump. it's important to know that matt gaetz is not under investigation or indictment

>> tim miller, i think we can answer both those questions for those republicans, matt gaetz, you knowll be the attorney general, the point is to humiliate the senate republicans. the point is to have them vote for someone -- let me just share the fights that he's currently engaged in. mark wayne mullen, senator from oklahoma who we just played, gaetz called him a disgrace to the republican party. gaetz mocked senator elect john curtis of utah as mitt romney without good hair and he called mitch mcconnell dangerous and cheered his retirement from leadership., gaetz suggested tom tillis , i could go on and on, but the point is, trump's point is to make foals out of the senate republicans, and i actually think strategically, they should get the report out, so that there's nothing to come out later to look -- make them look more for us. he will get this job because trump wants him to. >> i think it's very insightful reporting as usual from , you see reports from the hill there like, anonymously, half of the republican senators don't want matt gaetz to be attorney general it's like okay, w

and i remember seeing jason miller saying that -- and facial recognition was part of seeing them in the crowd on january 6th. what i look at matt gaetz since then and this is a loyalist that has no reason to be in any position power appoint appointee. if you talk about gabbard or hegseth, you have individuals that cannot tell fact from fission and the inability to know what the truth is. you have a bunch loyalist and others are being put up in position of appointments. you have serious picks like that when you see foreign adversaries and you look at people that might want to go after individuals, there will be a laughing stock quickly if you have appointees like this? >> it is going to be very difficult for them to push gaetz through without a recess appointment. we seeing senators come out and left saying they will not support him. i think that is where we're at. if that happens remains to be seen. >> thune was trying to be diplomatic, if there was more support for matt gaetz, i felt he would be a little more enthusiastic about it. but i don't think you can take people off the table. he did not go through the normal process. h

matt hours, who served in the first trump administration. gretchen, i'm not sure how many people remember stephen miller from the first trump administration, but he has been a big figure in the immigration policy. >> and also what i am sure caitlin knows, but did not mention, he is a member of the muslim travel ban, also controversial . to her point, we saw this with susie wiles, who he named chief of staff . these are people who have stuck with him through thick and thin, especially in the dark days in 2020 when he lost the election , and a lot of people left his side. what is very important about stephen miller is that, he has never gone astray from his strong stance on immigration. i think with these pigs, as well as with tom homan, former acting director of i.c.e., i think that trump is going full force ahead with the mass rotations. the other day you asked, how is that going to happen? we are getting more information on that now. the military may build detention centers to house the immigrations. stephen miller was on the record saying, they may put them on empty land in texas, near the border. they will no doubt use the national guard to
